Forum to probe state’s colliding interests in an energy boom

By Mike Saccone | Monday, May 12, 2008, 03:22 PM

If you’re free Thursday evening, swing by Mesa State College for what is shaping up to be an informative policy debate over Colorado’s competing industries and interests during the current energy boom.

The panel discussion, sponsored by The High Country News, will include a number of local experts on the topic, including state Sen. Josh Penry, R-Grand Junction, IPAMS Director Marc Smith and former Daily Sentinel publisher George Orbanek.

The discussion, which revolves around one of the biggest issues of the day for the Western Slope, will be held from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Thursday at the Moss Performing Arts Center’s recital hall.

If the program is as interesting as the panelists, this should be worth your time.
